Frequently Asked Questions
The two necks are physically separate; a simple selector switch chooses which neck is active, offering a clear transition between 6 and 12 strings.
While a shorter scale can sometimes exacerbate fret buzz, Danelectro’s setup generally keeps this in check, but a professional setup might be beneficial for optimal playability.
The Lipstick pickups and Masonite body give it a more jangly, less 'big' 12-string sound compared to models with more powerful pickups and solid wood bodies.
